? Wherever American negroes have
appeared in the area occupied by the
Americans writes a correspondent with
the American army in Germany, they
have attracted great attention among
the civilians. In Treves, Coblenz and
other places during the early days of
the occupation, crowds assembled
wherever any negro soldier stopped
and it was necessary for the military
police to enforce the orders prohibiting
gatherings. Even now in Coblenz

of negro soldiers they attract crowds
of German children every time they appear:
The German soldier also regards
the negro with great curiosity.
According to a discharged German soldier
in Rengsdorf, the German army
early in the war offered a reward of
four hundred marks for the capture
ulive of each negro. The discharged
German soldier said that throughout
the war German soldiers lived in great
fear and even terror of the negroes
and it was in order to overcome this
fear that rewards were offered.
Lawrence, Mass., January 25: Textile
workers of this city at a mass meeting
today, voted unanimously to support
a movement \o reduce working
hours from 54 to 48 hours a week,
without reduction of pay, effective on
February 3. Leaders explained that
there would be no strike, but that the
operatives would work eieht hours
daily and then quit their looms and
benches, returning the next day. Thos.
F. McMahon of Providence, R. I., first
vice president of the United Textile
Workers of America, outlined the plan
of campaign. February 3 will be the
first eight-hour day, he said. The operatives
will go to work and quit after
eight hours, going back "the next
morning, if you are allowed." The Pacific
mills announced on Thursday a
refusal of the 48-hour-week proposal.
The Laurence Duck company notified
its employes today that it would shut
j-vn.r. \f the 48-hour-week were insist
uvnu ik
ed upon. Approximately 25,000 operatives
are employed in the mills here.
The products include cotton, woolens
and worsteds.
Raising of the embargo on cotton
exports to enemy countries is now being
considered by the associated governments.
President Wilson on Friday
cabled Senator Smith of South Carolina,
In reply to requests by senators
and representatives from southern
states that restrictions be lifted. The
message indicated, however, that no
definite conclusions have yet been
reached. After reading the president's
message officials of the war
tr^de board said it evidently had been
garbled in transmission. They declared
that no cotton had been shipped
to enemy countries and that none
would be until the question of the economic
blockade of the central powers had
been settled at the Paris peace conference.
Pointing out that the president's
message referred to the fact
that the question of this blockade now
is being considered by the associated
nations, these officials said the statement
that cotton was being exported
to "all countries" must have rererreu
to the Allied countries and neutrals.
All restrictions as to cotton movements
to those countries were removed
some time ago. Control over
the destination of all ships leaving
American ports still is retained by the
trade board, It was said through the
system of licensing fuel coal. The
board has received no instructions to
permit any ships to proceed for ports
in enemy countries, it was declared.
Even ships carrying food relief to
southern Europe were required to proceed
to Gibraltar and their further
movement was by agreement among
the associated powers.
? Small contingents of French and
British troops according to a cable
from Omsk, Siberia, will bo sent to
the assistance of General Dutoft" at
Orenburg, negotiations between the
Omsk government and the Allies
G eneral Dutoff has telegraphed that
he will hold Orenburg as long as possible.
The trip of the Allied soldiers
? to Orenburg will be somewhat perilous
because to reach that place they must
make a sled journey of nearly 200
miles across the country swarming
with wolves, which have multiplied
because huntsmen there are without
ammunition. Advices from Orenburg
stale that many of General Dutoff's men
are without rifles, but do terrible execution
to Bolshevist ranks by charging

infest the district about Omsk, attacking
and devouring cattle, and
even men are in danger outside of the
city. It Is reported that Bolshevist
forces plan to recapture Perm, which
was taken from them last month by
General Gaida's Siberian and CzcchoSolvak
troops. The only real arsenal
in the Ural region is at Perm, the former
Russia government refusing to
establish arsenals in Russia. France
and Great Britain have notified Admiral
Kolchak, head of the Omsk government.
that they consider the acceptance
by Foreign Minister Sazanoflf
of plans for unity of command and
the settlement of the railroad question
as signalizing closer ties between
th<* forces fighting the Bolshevists in
Siberia. While there is no official organization
accorded as yet. it is apparent
that the powers. including
America, have a tendency to look on
the Omsk regime as a strong de facto
government.
Maj. Gen. C. C. Williams chief of
ordnance, has been describing to the
h"??? mtlitarv committee some of the
steps taken by his department to prevent
the country from going back to
the state it was in before the war. Sufficient
arms and ammunition will be
kept, he said, for an army large enough
to guard the country against any possible
invasion. "The ordnance department
now has 3,700,000 rifles, 2,000.000,000
rounds of ammunition and
enough artillery ammunition to supply
48 divisions for-six months," General
Williams said. "Similarly large quantities
of other equipment is being held.
The department plans to keep this
material and in addition machinery for

tured during the war." General Williams
asked for an appropriation of
1,000.000 for bringrin;c back from France
thousands of tons of ammunition of all
kinds. Arsenals the government had
before the war will be kept in operation
General Williams said, and in addition
several of the new war plans
will be taken over and kept in such
condition that they could be put in
operation at short notice. General
Williams asked for $500,000 to carry
on experiments with tanks which he
said had proved to be one of the most
effective instruments of warfare. General
Williams said expriments with
body armor had not been very successful.
With the exception of the helmet
all amor was found to be practically
useless. General Williams said the de- 1
partment had abandoned the idea of
throwing Into the ocean or otherwise
Jestroying great supplies of TNT and
Jther high explosives. He explained
that 80.000,000 pounds of TNT and
TOO,000,000 pounds of powder was on
hand in addition to immense quantities
of other' explosives. The powder
will be sold or kept for use of the war
department, he said. A portion of the
TNT will be sold to the agricultural
department, part will be sold to the
trade and the remainder will bp kept

Mail Matter of the Second Class.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1919.
The Columbia canal belongs to the
people of South Carolina, and the people
of South Carolina should have it.
Let the Central powers have all the
cotton they want and let them have it
at once. That is the way to keep a
gang of criminals from stealing millions
of dollars from the farmers of
the south.
We have made no effort to get information
as to the number of tons of
nitrate of soda the farmers of York
county had applied for up to last Saturday
night: hut from general statements,
it appears that the amount is
quite large.
If the Hon. Cole L. Blease had vetoed
that 5-cent fare bill, the Columbia
State would most certainly have
asked, if not in so many words, then
by implication, what he got for his
veto; but if it has had any critieism of
the governor's action in the matter we
have overlooked it entirely.
Representative Tom Heflin, of Alabama,
charges that a combination of
American and foreign spinners are
raiding the cotton exchanges in the
hop? of breaking the price of spots;
but predicts that within fifteen days
futures will again be quoted at 30
cents a pound. We believe with Mr.
Heflin that the present break Is the
result of a carefully planned raid and
we hope that the Alabama man's prediction
will prove correct. It is easy
enough to see how the raiders can
make speculative prices what they
please so long r.s no actual cotton is
moving.
Well informed people who are honest
about it very well understand howJohn
L. McLaurin made the cotton exchange
gamblers take note of things
while he was in charge of the state
warehouse, and we do not mind saying
that if he were in the t'nlted States
senate today, or even governor of the
state, cotton would not be as helples*
as it now seems to be. He knows exactly
how the manipulators manipulate
and exactly what to do to circumvent
them. His presence in the
United States senate right now would
he worth hundreds of millions of dollars
to the soutfr.
Refusal by the sheriff of York county
to compel a moving picture theatre
in Rock Hill to comply with requests
of the Rock Hill board of health has
caused Dr. James A. Hayne, state
health officer, to appeal to Governor
Cooper and S. M. Wolfe, attorney gen
eral, for an interpretation or tne present
statutes to determine whether or
not the state medical authorities have
the authority to enforce regulations
locally. Columbia State.
This paragraph is misleading and
unjust to the sheriff of York county, to
say the least of it. The sheriff has not
refused to do anything, nor has he
tried to evade anything. He stands
ready to do his duty without any hair
splitting or anything of the kind. But
it must be remembered that the sheriff
is a very high officer, under heavy
bond, charged with certain executive
powers and duties, the order and manner
of which are prescribed by statute.
The same statute provides the machinery
for the organization of boards of
health, and prescribes the duty, jurisdiction
and authority of such boards.
The statutes give these boards wide
powers and discretion in the making
and enforcing of health regulations.
There is almost nothing pertaining to
health that is beyond the jurisdiction
of a duly organized health board. But
it must be rememoeren mai uiert ia
no such a thing as a local board of
health until it has been duly organized
in accordance with the statutes.
The state board of health has full and
complete jurisdiction over local boards
of health; but unless there is a duly
organized local board of health, the
state board of health has no means of
enforcing any of its regulations in that
locality. Each properly organized
board of health must have a secretary
and a health officer. The orders of the
board shall go through the secretary to
the health officer, and by him enforced.
The sheriff does not enter into
the matter until after it has appeared
that the local health officer is powerless
to discharge his duties without tht
help of higher authority, if the sheriff
should assume to act except in accordance
with regular; procedure
such action would not only be gratult
ous; but it would render him naoie it
a very mortifying call down, and possibly
to an action for damages on hif
bond.
Although on its face the whole thinp
seemed perfectly natural, it now appears
that there is a most significant
story behind the projajsitior. to adjourn
the general assembly until next July.
The tacts have come out through A
M. Carpenter's Columbia correspondence
of the Greenville Piedmont
Othwise, probably the public would
never have been any wiser. The
house, as already stated, had passed
the five-cent fare bill over the governor's
veto, by an almost unanimous
vote. One hundred and one member?
voted for the passage of the bill and
only three stood by the governor,
Two of them were from the governor's
home county and the other was
Speaker Cothran. The proposition
was then up to the senate. If the
senate should agree with the house,
the Columhia Railway, Gas and Electric
company's street enrs would have
to at once reduce the fare to and from
Camp Jackson to five cents each way.
The Columbia Record, generally understood
to be under the control, if not
in the actual ownership of Mr. Robertson,
who is generally believed to
dominate the street car lines also
came out with a sensational story
about Influenza throughout the state.
It was a first page story that represented
that there were twenty thousand
eases of influenza in the state
und that the disease was not only
spreading rapidly; but it was of even
more deadly type than was the first
outbreak. The story seemed to convey
the impression that the epidemic
was coming right after Columbia with
flying banners and the like. As to
whether any of the senators were "on"
does not yet appear; but next morning the
morning after the house had
sat down on the governor's veto, and
after the Record had made its gas attack the
senate voted to adjourn till
the second Tuesday in July. With
the Record's story and the senate's action,
pressure was commenced on the
* * 1 111.a * V. i. I ttlnt. ,. <, u |
house. 11 IUUKCU line HIV luiue
going to work. Certain members of
the house, however, had a very earnest
and honest consultation with Dr.
C. V. Aiken, of the public health service.
Dr. Aiken did not hesitate to
say that the influenza situation was
bad over the state, though the disease
was, in his opinion, of a less virulent
nature than heretofore; but he knew
of nothing that would warrant such
statements or impressions as the Co-1
Iumbia Record had been making. Different
members began to smell a'
mouse, and Representative Smoak, of
Greenville, said that although ho was
dreadfully afraid of influenza, he would
be dad jimmed if he would not rot before
he would be flimflum'med in any
such way as that. Others felt likewise.
and when the question of running
away came to a vote In the
house, the members stood their ground
65 to 34. The senate had already voted
to- adjourn until Tuesday at noon
rnd the house voted to adjourn until
Monday night. There is no doubt
about the fact that the members are
afraid of influenza. Some few of
them have it and the families of many
of them have it. The inclination to
adjourn until next summer is strong,
and Mr. Carpenter is of opinion that if
the senate will at once pass the flveeent
fare bill over the governor's veto,
the house will talk to it about going
home. As to what is going to happen
along that lino, however, remains for
today's developments.
The Raid of the Gamblers.
If there was a time when the cotton
exchanges needed the attention of
our southern congressmen at Washington
it is now, as witness the coldblooded
prices manipulation operations
that have been going on during the
past few weeks, regardless of right,
justice or the value of the property
that is being outrageously avmv;i\cu.
The fanners of the south, knowing:
that the highest price yet offered for
their cotton was lower than the cost
of production plus a very modest margin
of profit, and knowing nlso that
under the law of supply and demand
there never has been a time in the history
of the staple when there was more
i wariunt for fair prices, prices at least
commensurate with everything the
farmer has had to buy, have been ret
fusing: to sell until they could realize
1 something like actual values,
i The cotton exchanges, gambling in
money, in terms of cotton, with a sufficient
quantity of low grade, unspinnable
cotton as a basis, are kicking
s this low grade stuff up and down like
I a football, and making it to a large
extent the measure of the value of the
real cotton in the hands of the farmer,
which cotton represents labor, sweat,
. money and anxiety, along with realii
zation in a fair measure the legitimate
> fruits of duty properly and honestly
[ performed.
On the wheat exchanges before the
" " ?
price nxing, wneai luium
| ou grade, and whatever a man bought,
, that was what he got, and had to take,
i He could and did gamble a plenty, but
it was strictly on a basis of what the
actual wheat would bring. The New
1 York cotton exchange, at which the
price of cotton is fixed, deals entirely
in a low grade stuff that is fit for
i nothing in the world except to serve
as poker chips, and no matter what a
legitimate spinner might buy, he has
got to take either this stuff which is
no use to him, or an arbitrarily fixed
difference in cash, which difference
would not procure the kind of cotton
for which he is supposed to be trading.
But nevertheless the exchange price
is the only general guide to commercial
values, and while the farmer who
holds his cotton free from encumbrance,
does not have to sell on any
such basis, the situation of the man
who has borrowed money rrom tne
banks is different. Bank loans on cotton.
are almost invariably margined
upon New York exchange quotations,
and a drop in the quotations of these
margins, and generally that call means
tect the cooton farmers of the south
that unless the collateral is forthcoming,
the cotton must be sold.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina, is
trying to get through a bill that will
compel the exchanges to deal in specific
grades of cotton and compel the
receipt and delivery of the specific
1 grades of cotton bought and sold, with
the idea of cicumventing the arrange,
inent under which the price of the en,
tire cotton crop of the south, good, bad
and indifferent, is fixed on a basis of
the manipulation of a lot of trash and
I refuse.
What Senator Smith has in mind is
undoubtedly in the interest of the cot '
ton producers of the south, and the
i senator should have the cooperation
of all southern congressmen in putting
through this bill; but there Is need for
1 more than that Just now. The south
I is now being assailed by different predatory
interests that have no more recard
for right and justice than had
the Germans in France and Belgium.
The present crop of cotton is and ought
to be worth not less than 35 cents a
pound and after it passes into the hands
of the spinners it will be sold to the
consumers not only of America, but
of the world, on a basis not less than
35 cents a pound to the producer. If
the producer does not get that production
price somebody else will, and
if our representatives In congress have
not the influence or the ability to protect
the cotton farmci-s of the south
at this time, it is difficult to see what
use the cotton farmers of the south
have for representatives in congress
1 anyway.
Thirtieth Will Go to Camp Sevier.
Senator Simons of North Carolina on
Saturday called upon the war depart'
meat with reference to the return of
' the Thirtieth Division and was in
formed that all possible haste is being
I made In getting the men of this division
ready for their homeward trip.
Tie was informed that not only had
1 these men heen asked to various cities
i in South Carolina but that North
Carolina and Tennessee also were asking
for them.
In this view of the situation, they
will probably go to flreenvllle after
; they have been debarked at Charleston.
In fact. Senator Simmons was
practically assured on this point. General
March Informed the North Carolina
senator that the war department
officers were as anxious as the men of
the Thirtieth themselves and their
friends for them to be at home again
and that everything consistent with
the situation was being done towards
this end.
From present indications the men
will embark sometime during the coming
week nnd land at Charleston possibly
two weeks later. That will make
their arrival in Charleston about February
155.

As to whether there will be any cases
tried at the approaching term of the
circuit court, remains to be seen. There
may be some cases tried and may not
be. Generally speaking the term is a
kind of bluff and compromise term.
That is, where the differences between
the litigants are almost-to the point of
adjustment, the defendant being willing
to give so much and no more, and
the plaintiff being willing to take so
much and no less, this term is used to
bring things to an issue if possible and
force the issues on the alternative of
going to the Jury. Many cases are
compromised under such conditions.
The cases that go to the jury generally
are there in which both sidee are determined
"to law you to the surpreme court
and back again and then to somewhere
Some of the newspapers are after
the Piedmont Telephone company because
of alleged poor service. We have
a difference with the telephone company;
but no quarrel with the Piedmont
company in particular. We think
that telephone rates are too high and
have not hesitated to say so. But so
far as the service is concerned, we
have no special complaint. Indeed we
bcliave that so far as the local exchange
is concerned, the service is better
than it has ever been and as good
as it is anywhere. The communication
is bad on community lines, of course,
and it is bad in cases where individual
owners of batteries fail to keep them
up. But any general claim of poor
service is unwarranted, in our opinion,
except maybe, where the influenza is
Interfering, and we are willing to concede
some consideration even to the
telephone people on account of.jicfluenza.
"I wish you would tell the people,"
said a local man, "that there is a Federal
law with heavy penalties against
the sale of butter prints of less than a
pound in weight for a pound. People
bring in butter which they offer by the
pound, and when you put it on the
scales it is two or three ounces short.
They simply do not know the danger
they run In such practice." So far as
The Enquirer knows, there Is no Federal
law that could have any effect on
sales of butter except In Interstate
traffic; but there are state laws against
shortwelghtlng of anything, and the
food administration has been very particular
about such matters, having
punished a good many offenders along
this line. However, law or no law, the
practice of shortwelghtlng is very reprehensible.
It is not honest. It Is not
necessary, of course, that butter pads
or prints weigh a pound or any other
given amount; but If they weigh less
than a pound they should not be offered
as a pound; but by the pound for
whatever they weigh.
Without prejudice to either side,
even to the extent of suggesting whether
in our opinion picture shows should
be closed up under existing Influenza
conditions, we are glad to note the Intention
of the Rock Hill picture shows
to test their rights in the matter. We
are interested in the prospective litigation
because it promises to help
straighten out a very much tangled
situation. As to whether the Rock
Hill board of health is organized in accordance
with law, we do not know,
but if it is not so organized it should
be, and it should not be permitted to
exercise the functions of a board of
health until it is so organized. The
same is true of all other boards of
health. As to whether the operation
of a picture or other show is calculated
to spread the influenza is a question of
fact for a Jury, and it is also a question
of fact for a Jury whether If a
picture show is a dangerous thing to
the health of a community, a grocery
store, dry goods store, cotton mill or
other business or industrial place in
which many people congregate, is not
equally as dangerous. Of course, if the
schools, picture shows and the like can
be operated only at a serious menace
to the public health, then such Institutions
should be suspended. There is
no question of that. But when it comes
to stores and places where people get
their daily sustenance, there must be
other regulations of a different nature;
because however dangerous may be
the menace of influenza, people may
as well have it or even die with it, as
starve to death. This of course is a roJ.?"

WITHIN THE TOWN
d
The Travora cotton mill, on lower c
Congress street, suspended operations r
yesterday on account of the influenza a
situation- t
Supt Faris of the water, light and *
power department, has been having t
quite a serious time of it with influ- v
enza. f
For instance, the health laws re- *
Antra that there be made every three a
months a chemical analysis of the public
drinking water, by a chemist approved
by the state board of health, (
and also by a biologist, approved by
the same authority, a bacteriological
examination no less than every t
three months. The results or Such 3
analysis and examinations are requir- .
ed to be published for public information.
It has been quite a long time 2
since anything of the kind has been 3
done, certainly not within a year. Water,
pure or impure, bears a most im- 4
portant relation to health.
The courthouse was well filled last 8
Friday night with people of the town c
and country, who had gathered to hear a
Col. W. W. Lewis tell of some of his
experiences in the world war, as previously
announced. All the available 1
seats were occupied and almost all of f
the standing room was taken. The au- ,
dience would no doubt have been still *
larger had there been more room,
though possibly some may have been t
kept away for fear of the flu. There t
was no charge for admission, the talk
being purely complimentary to those *
who desired to hear Col. Lewis tell of ^
the things he had experienced, seen a
and heard in connection with the big \
war, and although he was able to tell
but little if anything that had not al- (
ready been told and printed by others,
his story was none the less interesting v
and entertaining. In his talk Col. 0
Lewis reviewed his trip across the At- a
lantic, told of some incidents connect- c
ed with his stay In England and In s
France, recited some funny anecdotes j
appropriate to the subject matter, and c
exhibited a number of souvenirs, some c
of which he had collected himself, j
some of which he had purchased, and
gave the history of each. The trans- a
port on which Col. Lewis's outfit made e
the crossing was attacked by a submarine;
but the submarine was driven I
off without having been able to inflict
any damage. One of his funny stories (
was connected with the difficulties of c
trade between people who are unable a
to talk to each other, and the prac- t
tice of the French people in victimizing a
their American customers. A soldier \
in making a purchase from a woman f
shopkeeper indicated the article he <j
wanted and allowed the woman to ^
take the price from a number of coins t
in his open hand- The soldier thought r
the woman had taken more than was a
coming to her, and he appealed to a i
pal who claimed to be able to speak s
French to help him out. "Parlez-vous. j
Francais?" began the pal. "Bonjour, a
oui. oui," replied the woman, and the a
pal, unable to go any further, biurteu c
out In English: "Well, why in the hell
didn't you give this man the right
change?" Col. Lewis described In interesting
detail the work of his own
command in connection with bringing C
up ammunition, explained the manner
of receiving signals from the front, n
told how most of the movements had e
to be made at night and especially 0
how, even a lieutenant, in command of j
men going up to the front with am- \
munition, was not subject to the orders b
of any superior officer he might meet e
on the way; but was instructed to in- p
vite such superior officer to take his ^
name and rank and report him to p
headquarters, etc. While telling about
the artillery work, he repeated the 0
story of a negro artilleryist who, upon v
being questioned, explained that he
was "doorkeeper to one of the big r
guns." "I open de do', anuder nigger >
pushes in de powder, den anuder nig- ^
ger pushes in de thing what makes 'er t
go bang, and den I hollers, 'Kaiser. n
count your men!" Among Colonel 7
Lewis's souvenirs were some shells that n
had been carved by French artists, one w
a 72 and one a 42; a pretty fruit bas v.Qf
hoH heart nhanrinnad on a bat- a,
tlefleld by the Germans, and other ar- f,
tides. In condusion he told how en- h
thusiastically responsive the troops
were to all the songs of welcome on b
their arrival in New York, and how si- p
lence fell over them all upon the sing- h
ing of "Hail, hail, the Gang's All a
Here!" for the boys could not help being
reminded that many of the gang d
were sleeping In the bloody battlefields 0
of France. ft

QUESTION OF PROCEDURE. nr
In compliance with a request from 01
Secretary Hayne of the state board of
health, Governor Cooper called upon r'
Sheriff Quinn last Saturday to close up nl
a moving picture show that was being
operated in alleged disobedience to an
alleged order of the local board of
health.
Sheriff Quinn advised the governor se
I that he stood ready to do whatever the b<
governor should order to be done; but X
he had legal advice to the effect that n<
the Rock Hill moving picture proposl- in
tion was purely within the jurisdiction D<
of the local authorities of Rock Hill, af
nd It was not up to the sheriff to act
ntil he was advised in a regular maner
that the local authorities were unble
to carry out the law.
Impressed with the obvious sound
ess of the sheriff's position, the gov
rnor acknowledged the same and ad
ised that matters remain as they ar<
a far as the sheriff is concerned unti
fie matter should properly come up t<
im.
It appears that the proprietor of thi
loving picture show in question ha(
een requested by the Rock Hill healtl
uthoritles to close his place of busi
ess. The movie proprietor compile*
t first; but within an hour advise*
tie local board of health that he ha<
e-opened and expected to continui
pen until forced to close by due pro
esses, etc.
It was after receiving the notic
rom the movie proprietor that the lo
al health authorities called upon th<
heriff, and when the sheriff announc
d his attitude, the Rock Hill healtl
uthoritles went to State Secretary
layne. State Secretary Hayne wa
old about the same thing that the lo
al board of Rock Hill had been told
nd he went to the governor, with th
esult of the developments alread:
tated.
Chief Youngblood of Rock Hill, li
oniv to an innuirv from the sheriff
m
lade subsequent to the telephoni
ommunications referred to abovt
aid that he had not been called upoi
o act in the matter; but of cours
tood ready to do his duty wheneve
ailed upon to do so.
The following Rock Hill special o
Saturday to the News and Courlei
Ives more light on the foregoing:
"An interesting situation has arise!
s a result of an influenza quarantin
irhlch the board of health has foun
eason to again put on"The
moving, picture managers, hav
ng determined to fight the decree
pened up this afternoon at 3 o'clock
"The situation at this time is some
trhat different than it was in Octobe
nd the rules laid down by the healtl
uthorlties are not so drastic as in th
all quarantie. For instance, th<
chools have not been closed, and I
vould seem that conditions do no
warrant their closing, at least, not now
"he attendance at both grammar an
igh schools is practically normal, s
nany of the pupils having alread
lad "flu." The rooms are kept thor
>ughly ventilated and the childre
matched and sent home at signs of th
east indisposition.
"The morning services at the church
s are allowed, but there is no Sunda
chool and the children are not allow
d to attend the church service.
"The stores are open, but with stric
ures against crowding.
"fti view of the above the theatr
nen claim that the absolute closin
if their business is unjust and discrim
native. They claim that their place
if business are so well ventilated tha
heir patrons are just as safe as in oth
tr places.
"At a meeting last night the healt
>oard expressed itself as strongly op
>osed to allowing the theatres to re
ipen until the epidemic had subsided
Cotwithstanding, the theatres wer
ihead, cleaned up their places thoi
lughly and have opened up. Whatth
lutcome will be remains to be seen."
Shcriflf Quinn went over to Roc
fill yesterday to get a clear idea c
vhat the trouble was about and to pu
limself in a position to render sue
issistance as might lay in his powei
t developed as a matter of fact tha
10 closing order had ever been issue

erve. Nobody was really In dlsobe
Hence to anything1. When the boar
>f health was brought to realize th
cnl situation, It prepared an orde
ind placed the same in the hands c
he sheriff. Thus armed, the sherll
vent to the picture show men and tol
hem his business. "Why, sure, w
irill close," they said. "This is th
Irst thing in the shape of a notic
hat has yet come to our attention,
ind they closed forthwith.
